I did drive it to work tonight though! No death wobble and I don't have a stabilizer on it yet, nor balanced tires.

Still have a major list of things to do yet, this heat is just annoying right now so I'm waiting for a cooler day.
Yeah, the heat sucks.
You need a man door on the back of your shop Jake, for air flow.

I just need a shop...
One door? Gotta be a heater box like that.

I have 2 walk in doors and one 12x14 door. I'm gonna put an AC wall unit in, I've decided.
Nice truck, I wish I had one like it.... wait

A few more pics, cause I was bored.
Just get zero rate blocks for the rear.
Yep, it would sit perfect.
Real deal now..

The lack of height, my rear bumper, and no front drive shaft got me stuck on that hill next door to my place the other day. I'd had taken a pic, but I was too busy trying to get it unstuck before a sheriff drove by. It's damn steep once you end up straight on it.
Lol
Why would the Sheriff care? Someone else's hill?
Th issue with stacked blacks that no one mentioned is they get spit out because the are not one unit. U-bolts loosen up after time, back end bounces block goes out the back. (Another reason to check them any time you go wheeling)
Go with a zero rate the U-bolts are long enough. Ride like that awhile then get a shackle flip after you have used you U-blots enough to stomach getting some new ones.

I live right on the highway. My neighbor has a decent hill out front along the highway as well. I tried taking the hill at an angle and after I got a ways up, my bumper stopped me by catching the ditch. I had to keep goosing it and it kept working to the right, where I finally was facing the hill straight and stuck. No front shaft to help with the 4 wheel drive. County owns the ditch so I didn't want to get my butt chewed for tearing the ditch and side hill up. If you look at Chris's thread you'll see some pics of him on it.
Where are you at with this?

Sitting in my shop with a slow leaking left front tire. Haven't done crap to it. I got an old dirt bike that I've been messing with. Not part of my build but I'll post a pic anyways.
